You kidding? When I left infants school (Year 2 in the UK, about age 5 or 6) my reading age was about 13 (read: I was on the actual novels while the rest of the class were reading books like "George and the Dog"). I maintained that gap, it seemed, all the way through to year 11. But there were still people struggling on words like "pessimistic", so yeah.
A good way to do it is to actually enjoy reading. *points to laden bookshelf*
So I can understand why Ellison is trying to do what he is. as he sees that.NET has much synergy. More I look.Net, more I've started to wonder why it has been so overlooked.
Why has it been overlooked? Maybe because to run.NET the primary path would be to run IIS, unless you want to try using the ASP.NET Apache2 modules or Mono.
Besides the fact that.NET is nowhere near as portable as Perl, PHP or Java, it's Microsoft - not exactly good for peace of mind if you're working on a secure product >.>
3.3. MFC DMA Commands This section describes functions that implement the various MFC DMA commands. See the Cell Broadband Engine Architecture for a description of the DMA commands, including restrictions on the size of the supported operations. MFC DMA command mnemonics are listed in Table 3-98.
1 MFC command enumerants are defined in spu_mfcio.h. mfc_put: move data from local storage to effective address (void) mfc_put(volatile void *ls, uint64_t ea, uint32_t size, uint32_t tag, uint32_t tid, uint32_t rid)
Data is moved from local storage to system memory. The arguments to this function correspond to the arguments of the spu_mfcdma64 command: ls is the local-storage address, ea is the effective address in system memory, size is the DMA transfer size, tag is the DMA tag, tid is the transfer class identifier, and rid is the replacement class identifier.
You're working on the assumption that consoles are inherently limited to *JUST* a controller. The PS2 has had the capability to connect a USB keyboard and mouse from the very beginning, and games have been released that use this capabiltiy (albeit few). Ergo, the fault lies not on Sony, but on the games developers.
And while the keyboard/mouse combo might be good for FPS games and RTS games, there's not the level of control achieveable with a controller when playing, say, Burnout 3 or a flight sim (and yes, the PS2 controller is *EXCELLENT* for flight sims).
Besides, I'm waiting for my neural interface á la Matrix.:P
Sorry, but it's a cold, hard, well proven fact that an AMD CPU will trounce an Intel equivalent in gaming performance.
Secondly, the XPS cases are ugly, plastic monstrosities that are a safety hazard, especially with a heat generator like an Intel inside. And please, a 375W PSU? Are you nuts? It's like they're ASKING the computer to die.
Every time I see the XPS marketed as the "ULTIMATE GAMING EXPERIENCE" I feel like firing up Firefox, typing in a quick google for "AMD vs Intel gaming" and mailing a few links to Dell.
Care to post the specs of this $600 PC? No, really, I'm interested. Because $600 ~= £400, which will buy you a decent PSU, CPU and graphics card... And that's it. Good luck with that -.-
Your best bet for getting a Windows box setup from scratch is to get a friend to burn you a CD with AVG, a decent firewall and Firefox et all so you can continue the setup on the net.
Also, ignore completely MS' advice of removing your floppy drive if you have SATA. Because to install Windows wtih SATA, you need drivers. Which have to be on drive A. Go figure.
In addition, get a router (if possible); the hardware firewall will surpass any software firewall, mainly because most software firewalls live outside of the TCP stack and thus can be penetrated before the system knows it.
There is no secure Windows box. There are only partially secure Windows boxes.
And, a default Windows install can be connected to the net with no firewall, NAT or proxy, or any AV software for like 8 seconds before becoming infected with Skynet and its kin.
...are the Turion64 based gaming laptops? Seriously, an AMD laptop with a decent graphics card and memory will trounce anything going on Intel. Benchmark after benchmark after benchmark later, and the world is still saying Intel are better than AMD. They're not. Face the facts, read the evidence, and stop supporting the Wintel empire.
Yes, DHT's private flag may well be an issue. And as was mentioned, there is most likely no broad implementation (except possibly for the Python-based clients, which will probably be heavily based on Bram's code). Perhaps what is needed is more of an RFC-type definition of the BT protocol, so client authors can actually work towards a globally compatible definition.
First off, if the trackers are so shit that the "private flag" is the only thing standing between the client and a download, the torrent site needs to update. Second, I use BitComet, and tbh, it rocks. Simple, fast, non-leechy. Lots of great features, memory efficient, yadda yadda. And every single torrent I've tried to download that had a private tracker URL errored with the "IP not recognised" error (or something similar). Ergo, someone is using shitty tracker software somewhere.
What about wireless connectivity? It'd be easy (if not painful and/or disgusting) to put a storage device attached by, say, Bluetooth, in a body cavity. It'd be somewhat easier for women (no prizes for guesses why) and less so for guys, but even just carrying a Bluetooth storage device in your POCKET would be relatively easy. It doesn't even have to become visible while you copy files.
I just bought the wxWidgets book for £27 including postage. It gives instruction on cross-platform development, streaming, networking, multithreading, basic OpenGL, application structure, comes with a CD with DialogBlocks and a lot of sourcecode...
No, the threat of a nuclear reactor going meltdown and melting down through the mantle, coming into contact with supercold water and suffering drastic thermal expansion/contraction and spreading nuclear radiation for a few hundred miles is minimal.
That's what the Three Mile administrators said, too.
Shame it didn't actually happen, might have knocked some sense into them. Came damn close though.

PowerPC 64bit. The patches are already in the Linux kernel.
So much for *THAT* argument >.>
True. But if I'm playing on a console, I'm more likely to be faster on the game when using the controller.
One problem with your argument: it's flawed.
:P

Aaaaaand those components wouldn't produce anything close to PS2 performance ^.^
...then it's not a gaming PC.

That or suing them for false advertising.

Linux is usually more secure. Some distros are worse than others, and some are downright bulletproof.

FF 1.5 would beat IE6 in all areas except exploitability (for amount of, not lack of).
Welcome to the world of Catch 22.
Developers won't make games for Linux until there's a larger userbase.
Users won't switch to Linux until there are more games.
Solution? Developers. ID and Epic have taken the first steps.
I raise you a canister of LOX and a lit match :P
